Our Sunday is beginning on a cold, but dry note. Despite starting in the lower and middle 20s, at least we have the sunshine to greet us out the door!
The clouds we see to our west are associated with a storm system that will deliver another round of accumulating April snow to central Indiana late tonight and early Monday.
We should hold onto the sunshine into the afternoon hours before those clouds begin to increase, eventually lowering and thickening through the evening hours.
Timing: Snow should begin to impact western portions of the state around 10p, or so, before advancing east and reaching the city, itself, around 11p.
Snow will then overspread the rest of the state during the overnight and come down at a moderate clip at times, especially for the western half of the state.
Snow will continue through the predawn hours Monday before tapering to snow showers closer to the Monday morning rush.
While temperatures will hover around freezing through the majority of the event, the recent unseasonably cold conditions will allow the possibility of a few slick spots on area roadways during the overnight and predawn hours. Take it slow if you plan to be out and about early Monday morning.
Accumulation: Most of central Indiana can expect around an inch of wet snow by sunrise Monday, but there will be a few folks (especially west of the I-65 corridor) where a couple of inches of snow will fall.
As we look ahead into the upcoming work week, the big story will be a push of spring-like warmth late week (lower 70s Thursday and mid to upper 70s Friday). With that said, the warmth won’t hold as a negative NAO continues to dominate. The end result will be a quick return to unseasonably cold conditions this time next week. That cold will then take us through the balance of the rest of the month…
